Arsenal is the defensive kings of the Premier League. In the last two campaigns, Mikel Arteta’s team has sent the least goals.
William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, the club’s all-powerful central defensive association, were even praised by the former Nigel Reo-Coker midfielder for their trip to the Summum: “They could be on the way to become Premier League legends in terms of the best defenders we have seen.”
The security provided by the rearguard allowed the technical director Andrea Berta to work on signatures later. The imminent arrival of Viktor Gyokerres Center is proof of this.
However, Arsenal could still be interested in making a defensive signature.
The remaining transfer plans of Arsenal
After Gyokerres has completed his move to the Emirates, it seems that Arsenal goes ahead with an agreement for Ebelechi Eze de Crystal Palace, having concluded initial agreements on payments.
Elsewhere, the Gunners want a defender, and this has already completed the signing of the talents of Valence Crinthian Mosquera for 13 million pounds Sterling Plus.
But, according to DE TELEGRAAF – via reports in Spain, Arteta wants more, after having turned the defender of Ajax Jorrel Hato. Indeed, the Northern Londoners initiated contacts with the Dutch giants while they turn to the Chelsea offer.
The blues may be advantages, but nothing is located in stone. He estimated that an offer in the region of 60 million euros (51 million pounds sterling) would be sufficient to conclude the agreement.
Why Arsenal wants Jorrel Hato
Hato, 19, is perhaps only at the start of his senior career, but he has already established himself as one of the most exciting new arrivals on the continent.
In fact, the Talent Scout Jacek Kulig said “one of the most talented CB of its generation in Europe”.
There are few other central defenders who could compete, but the dean of Real Madrid Huijsen is certainly one. International Spain, which is 20, has left Bournemouth for Los Blancos in an agreement worth 50 million pounds sterling in May, after having had a spectacular breakthrough in the Premier League.
Last season, Huijsen was praised by an analyst for making the manufacture of a center of “world class” center, prodigiously cool and confident on the ball, strong in the tackle, commanding in the air.
Hato could imitate him, joining a side of Arsenal given a last development of their remarkable back-line line. Already, he has made 111 senior appearances for Ajax, moving between the left back and the central defense, designating his large technical capacity.
Look, for example, to the ball game skills that allowed the old prospect of the cherries to shine so brilliantly. According to FBREF, it ranked among the most important 6% of the central defenders of the Premier League last year for the assists, the 7% the most important for shooting actions and the most important 15% for progressive pass by 90.
The actions to create blows are pieces of play that lead to a shot. These include moments such as a pass, take away or a fault.
Hato, although it is not so expressive on the ball, presented its own prowess passing through a fantastic effect, ranked among the most top of the positional peers in the 2024/25 eredivisia for the completion of Pass, the most important 15% for tempted passes and the 5% upper for decisive passes for 90.

In addition, after having finished 90% of its passes in the League, on average 1.9 plated and won 55% of its air duels through the League matches, according to Sofascore, he endowed the tenacious defensive values necessary to succeed in the Premier League.
Despite all its high level capacity, Huijsen left something to be desired in the ground duels last year, winning only 51% of its battles.
Hato athletics and unlimited energy levels could see it provide the perfect cover for Gabriel and Saliba, initially serving as a sub-study, but which would be certain to appear in good place throughout the countryside.
Arsenal – And indeed the rest of the Premier League – failed to convince Huijsen to stay on the English coast, but in Hato, Arteta could sign an equally complete and technically clear defender with a wide range of skills.
